1. 26 FMB Pompey · Saladin · Thorvi Current meta Beats 5 of 29 in battle 88.54/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Pompey (X16), Saladin (SP · paid) and Thorvi (X29) score 88.54 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Pompey is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 95% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Saladin is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: raises what enemies take by 338% across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Thorvi is the win condition, bringing 86% of the lineup's expected damage: Thunderlance Thrust puts 450% into one enemy squad on a 70% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Saladin’s Whirlwind Slash produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Pompey’s Rome Destroyer and Thorvi’s Thunderlance Thrust both wait on; Saladin produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Pompey’s Pirate Destroyer waits on; Pompey raises Thorvi’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound; little here disrupts the enemy plan, so the fight is decided on raw output.

    Pompey is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 95% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Saladin is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: raises what enemies take by 338% across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Lancelot is the win condition, bringing 63% of the lineup's expected damage: Immortal puts 356% into all enemy squads on a 50% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Saladin’s Whirlwind Slash produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Lancelot’s Immortal and Pompey’s Rome Destroyer both wait on; Saladin’s Whirlwind Slash produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Lancelot waits on; Lancelot’s Dedication produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Saladin waits on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 18% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound.
